Hey all! New grower looking for the know how. I've got a few plants under 5 fluorescent bulbs that I started for kicks and now I'm looking at some legit plants. It's been 4 weeks and I need some questions answered.

1- One of my heroes has come down with Curly Leaf Syndrome. It's getting plenty of water but each leaf set is curling downward. Thoughts?

2 - Can I start differentiating sex yet? I know I need to remove the males ASAP but my amateur eye cant distinguish between the two yet.

3 - I think I'm growing a retarded plant. It's just as old as its brethren but it's stout with leaves popping out every which way. I suspect genetic abnormalities. Anyone seen this before and if so, will it flower?

Do a search. This is a common problem

Do you have them on a 12/12 yet? And if yes,for how long?

I suspected over water could be the culprit, but this guy is the only one with that problem and he gets the same amount of water as the others.
They're still in the vegetation stage. How long in should I switch them?
I figure I'm gonna keep the little guy to see where it goes. Who knows, maybe the little guy will bud.

1) looks overwatered
2)Is normal growth, nothing to do with sex. Will do this a lot and is what makes the side branching and buds.
3)I have a plant doing this right now, I think it was from slow growth at start and I pulled some of the small curling leaves off and it seemed to like that and new stuff is coming out now. My current plant in 12/12 had this also at bottom and I didn't pull the deformed leaves off and they really never did much, so I pulled them off and looks a lot better now and I can see new growth. Root issues caused mine to do this I suspect, is all worked out now though.

dude iv had them like this before trust me it will bud and it just wont be as big as the rest some times. tell me is your room or area where it is staying cool or does it get hot? also try not to water it for 24 hours see if that helps a bit
